Use an electric mixer to combine the mustard, honey, 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and lemon juice in a small bowl.

Whip the mixture for about 30 seconds.

Pour about 2/3 of the marinade over the chicken breasts and marinate them, covered, in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

Chill the remaining marinade until later.

After the chicken has marinated, preheat the oven to 375F and heat an ovenproof frying pan large enough to hold all four breasts and 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat.

If you don't have an ovenproof frying pan, transfer the chicken to a baking dish Sear the chicken in the pan for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.

Remove pan from heat but keep chicken in the pan.

As the chicken is cooking, in a small frying pan saute the mushrooms in the butter.

Brush each seared chicken breast with a little of the reserved "honey" mustard marinade not the portion that the chicken soaked in being sure to save a little extra that you can serve on the side later with the dish.

Season the chicken with salt, pepper and paprika.

Stack two pieces of cooked bacon, crosswise on each chicken breast. Spoon the sauteed mushrooms onto the bacon, being sure to coat each breast evenly.

My familys favorite chicken recipe is a simple one to make. Place thawed boneless, skinless chicken breast in a cassarole pan, add 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 1/2 can water, fresh or can mushrooms, cover and bake until done, 375 for about a hour. Top with almond slivers and serve over brown rice. A salad completes the meal.

Pre-heat outdoor grill, george foreman or oven broiler. In a skillet, cook turkey bacon; cool, crumble and set aside. Chop tomatoes and set aside. Cook chicken breasts on grill, turning to brown on both sides. As soon as chicken comes off the grill and while it is piping hot, top with a slice of Monterey Jack cheese, then crumbled bacon and tomato; finally sprinkle with cheddar cheese. The heat from the chicken will melt the cheeses and make this nice and gooey. If you don't get the cheese on the chicken in time to melt it, you can put it under the oven broiler for a few moments.
